The Atomic Court Evolution: Perfecting the Prototype

Welcome to the latest installment of building a shoe company! We are on a mission to build the ultimate minimalist court shoe, the Atomic Court, and we wanted to pull back the curtain a bit on our development process. As you'll see in our developer diaries below, getting a sneaker right takes a lot of tweaking, wear-testing, and occasionally bumping into things.

We have some incredible news to share. We are officially on our way. Thanks to the mighty support from hundreds…

They’re officially out in the wild. 📦👟 After seeing pallets of the Atomic Court hit our distribution center, watching the very first pairs land on your doorsteps is one of the best feeling in the world. Huge shoutout to @/FFPharmD on Reddit for the Day 1 impressions on the Classic Court (white/green) colorway. Seeing players immediately connect with why we built the modular midsole system (swapping in the 4mm drop-in when you want a little extra cushion on unforgiving concrete, without giving up a natural wide toebox) is the exact reason we started Pines. If your pair just landed, tag us in your unboxings and let us know how your first court session goes! 🏀🎾🏓🏸🔥 Batch 1 is shipping now—hit the link in our bio to grab your size before this first run moves. #pinesfootwear #atomiccourt #barefootshoes #minimalistfootwear #sneakerlaunch
The wait is almost over! 🚂👟 After a much longer stay in Long Beach than anticipated, the sneakers are officially on a train and making their way east! We are this close to getting these into your hands. Who’s ready for delivery day? 👇 #SneakerDrop #barefootshoes #CourtShoes #BehindTheScenes #Pines
"Best court shoe of the year." ⚡️👟 You're making us blush 🤗 @drachperformance! When we designed the Atomic Court, we wanted to build a shoe that protected your body during cuts and sprints on hard surfaces while still giving you that minimalist, zero-drop feel you love. Whether you’re on the court or in the gym for speed and agility work, the Atomic Court has you covered. Features we packed into this model: ✅ Perfect sole thickness for hard impact ✅ Wide toe box for stability ✅ Incredible court grip ✅ An extra 4mm drop-in midsole (ALT-4) for easy transitioning!

The reality of starting a sneaker brand isn't always glamorous photoshoots and perfectly timed launches. Sometimes it's just you, a beautiful Maine fall day, and a container ship taking its sweet time in California. 🍂👟 Drop a 🚢 in the comments to manifest our shipping container, and hit the link in our bio to join the waitlist so you know the exact second they actually hit our distribution center. #PinesFootwear #SneakerStartup #BuildingInPublic #MaineLife #SupplyChainProblems
